Bismuth—Production, properties, and applications
@article{Ojebuoboh1992BismuthProductionPA, title={Bismuth—Production, properties, and applications}, author={Funsho Ojebuoboh}, journal={JOM}, year={1992}, volume={44}, pages={46-49} }
Bismuth, the most metallic element in group V A of the periodic table, is primarily a by-product of lead refining. It is also a by-product of several ore-dressing operations, especially high-grade scheelite and wolframite ores. It is generally recovered by processing lead electrorefining slimes, Kroll-Betterton dross, and other process residues which contain bismuth. No matter the source, it is refined to virgin metal with chlorine. Bismuth’s unique properties make it attractive for a plethora…
